Year 7 Football Team Make Basildon Academies History!

Our Year 7 football team have made history, becoming the first Basildon Academies football team to reach the fourth round of the ESFA National Cup!

The historic achievement follows an outstanding home performance on Wednesday 4th November, when the team secured an impressive 4-0 victory over Brampton Manor Academy in the Third Round of the competition.

It was a fantastic team performance and an exciting match to watch, with our students demonstrating real commitment, determination and togetherness throughout. Goals from Joseph.B (2) and Yaseen.T, alongside an own goal, secured a well-deserved victory and a place in the next round.

There was also individual recognition for goalkeeper Jackson, who was named Man of the Match following an outstanding performance between the posts.

Our students have made us incredibly proud, showing tremendous teamwork, skill and determination to reach this stage of the competition. They are also the only team from our district to progress this far, making their achievement even more special.

With the fourth round now in sight, we look forward to seeing how far this talented team can go! They will face either The Sydney Russell School or Shenfield High School in the next round.

A huge well done to all the players and staff involved. What an achievement – bring on the fourth round!
